+SYNOPSIS
+        #include <sys/commands.h>
+
+        mixed * match_command (string command, object origin)
+
+DESCRIPTION
+        Take the command <command>, parse it, and return an array of all
+        matching actions added to <origin> (read: <origin> is the object
+        'issuing' the command).
+
+        Each entry in the result array is itself an array of:
+
+          string [CMDM_VERB]:   The matched verb.
+          string [CMDM_ARG]:    The argument string remaining, or 0 if none.
+          object [CMDM_OBJECT]: The object defining the action.
+          string [CMDM_FUN]:    The name of the function to call in
+                                CMDM_OBJECT, which may be static.
+
+        The efun is useful for both debugging, and for implementing your
+        own H_COMMAND handling.
+
